I’m a 48 yr old Hispanic that just seen the movie for the first time in my life. I’m not in favor of going around removing or deleting history. I saw this movie and was in awe. What a great film. It made me feel sad because I like my naiveness when I see movies and tv. I want to see great actors play great roles. I don’t want to feel like I have to count the amount of different races are playing in the movie so it can feel “equal.” I’m not sure if I’m just getting old but I don’t like where we’re all heading.

And the earliest of the making of a government, on North America started with "Native Americans." The lying going on in 2021... to LABEL an American group of people is Unconscionable...And is STEPS right out of the "Old Socioligy Play Book" of steps to DESTROY a NATION..

Carlos, can't thank you enough for sharing your thoughts and impressions of GWTW. Read it when I was the same age as Scarlett at the beginning of the story. Sixteen. Saw the film the following year in 1974 when it was re-released in the theater for its 35th anniversary. The book and the film hit me on a visceral level and led me on a journey of discovery about my country's history and its continuing "growing pains" as it tries to fulfill its promise for all of its citizens.. I am so grateful for people like you who can truly understand and appreciate the beauty, importance, and cultural significance of this film. The love story hooked me as a teenager, but the time and setting of both the book and the film enlightened me about the complexity, contradictions, and conflicts that exist between and within human beings. Thank you again for your insightful comment.

"Gone with the Wind," is one of the last movies that they used REAL settings. It took David O Selznick, days to video the sun rise scenes. "I'LL NEVER GO HUNGRY AGAIN!" Americans today, do not realize what Abraham Lincolns' war did to the entire USA economically. By 1863, with the Northern Army consisting of most small, individual dirt farmers: No food crops had been grown in the North since 1861. And with the Union Army destroying the Southern Farms,as well. THERE WAS NO FOOD, ANYWHERE. Abe Lincoln could NOT even feed his army.. And the Union Army was confiscating food every where, North and South and was warehousing it... only for the Union Army. Especially in New York, New York...Desperation for food became so bad: The Union Army had guards on their "Food warehouses:" A bunch of WOMEN had had enough of Mr. Lincolns' War and their children STARVING: The WOMEN took on the UNION ARMY. And the Women took the Union food Warehouses.. And the Women past out UNION ARMY FOOD UNTIL THE WAREHOUSES WAS EMPTY. These Union Army guards.... Said, "They thought it was hard fighting against men but they never wanted to ever a fight with angry WOMEN ever again."

When I was in college many years ago, my sociology teacher gave our class an assignment to do a paper on a movie of our choice and write about the relationship between two characters. I chose “Gone With The Wind” and wrote about the relationship between Scarlett O’Hara and Melanie Wilkes. I got an A+ because most people would have focused on Scarlett O’Hara and Rhett Butler’s relationship but I chose to approach it differently because Scarlett and Melanie had more screen time and interaction than any two characters in the movie. This was a great motion picture that had the perfect cast and script and film score. I’ve watched this movie probably a hundred times in my life and it never gets old. The movie was a huge vehicle for its Black character actors and had a huge impact on the storyline. The character of Mammy, was portrayed as intelligent and strong woman who was bold enough to stand up to Scarlett O’Hara, Rhett Butler and didn’t hesitate to put them in their places when they were behaving foolishly. Too many people today, are calling for this movie to be banned because of the slavery theme. They miss the entire point of the movie and the house slaves were portrayed with certain strengths and the 1940 academy awards awarded Hattie McDaniel as best supporting actress and was the first African American actress to win an Oscar.

Hattie McDaniel was quoted as saying, "I'd rather PLAY a maid than BE one." If those were the only roles available to her, she did magnificently with what she had. Though Mammy is surprisingly not in the novel a lot, her role in the movie was likely built up because McDaniel was proving to be the glue holding the whole thing together. I'm not sitting here saying slavery was great or justifiable, just that this movie must be seen as a product of its times. Some of the greatest moments are hers, such as the scene where she is walking up the stairs with Melanie telling her about the death of Bonnie and Rhett's reaction. It makes me weep EVERY time. She is a consistent presence in the movie and yet acted her part so seamlessly that you almost don't see how crucial she is to the whole story.

I watch GWTW on DVD at home. GWTW is a beautiful movie. Not as close to truth as the book, but it should not be taken as a real history lesson.

@@j.d.youtube6557 Gone With the Wind, the movie, is really not about the Civil War. The SETTTING is the South before, during and after the Civil War, that's all. The movie is about Scarlett O'Hara. She's shown initially as beautiful, vain, spoiled, privileged, hypocritical and selfish; but when the Civil War wrecks her world and brings her to the brink of starvation, her unexpected, innate toughness and determination emerge. She fights her way back, not just to survival but ultimately to affluence and she drags everyone in her circle along with her. She's a flawed character, not traditionally very admirable, but you can't help appreciating her strength. In the end she's still a stinker but she's also still a fighter and you finish the film hoping she'll get Rhett back. So, it's about Scarlett's journey, not about the South or the Civil War or slavery. The film has well-written, distinct, varied characters extremely well acted by the perfect cast. The production was the very top quality available at the time. In my opinion Gone With the Wind had a production design that made the best use of Technicolor EVER. The first three times I saw the film it was in re-release on a full sized theatre screen. You haven't lived until you've seen it that way. It's an excellent story beautifully made on film.

Has anyone watching this ever read the book. It has nothing to do with slavery or perceived racism. Those issues are only a backdrop to the story. It is a story of privilege, love and loss. Built around a time of brother killing brother and the tribulations of a 16yr old girl who grows into womanhood through the horrors of war and the realisation of what her womanhood could do for her advancement. Instead of, as Ashley did, lamenting a lost age. Scarlet powers forward to rise above mediocrity and laziness. As with the human condition, you never realise what you have until its gone. Gone with the Wind.

The movie is a great film, the book is closer to real life & deserved the Pulitzer. Mitchell did a huge amount of research, and grew up around people who lived through the war. Mitchell can’t be faulted for the racial attitudes, she was a Southern woman of her time & it’s just the way it was. Scarlett was a planter’s daughter, people criticize the story because it was about a rich girl who lost everything. She fared no better than poorer landowners. I have my family stories, poorer families with farms, one couple lived on corn pone for awhile because it was all they had after the Yankees stole & destroyed everything. The story of loss is universal. My family had the same experiences, starvation, dead & maimed loved ones, loss of money & land. That book is extraordinary as a tale of America. A story of the CW registered with people during the Depression. It ranks with Moby Dick, Huckleberry Finn, & I like to add To Kill a Mockingbird because it’s my favorite book after GWTW.

The thing with the HBO removal is that they were put in a situation of ‘damned if u do and damned if u don’t”. Making it available to stream can be considered as being in favor of slavery and idolizing confederates by a lot of people, while at the same time, many other people will get pissed if they think they’re banning it by removing it. HBO did the right thing by relaunching GWTW with an explanation behind this great film and how preserving these films can be hurtful and intense but necessary for understanding history.

I dislike the generalization of the treatment of slaves. Every slave owner was not brutal. Every slave did not get whipped.

the older I get, the more I can get outta this movie & the book, (which is better in my opinion, plus must read the sequel "Scarlett") life is hard & we need to be tougher... tomorrow is always another day! I cried after watching it again for like the n-th time I couldn't recall anymore, & I cried for the 1st time upon seeing how Scarlett lost almost everyone & everything when arrived at home, the rich glorious old times is gone now, she must make herself out of nothing & she did it at whatever the costs she could afford, truly remarkable, what a woman!

regardless of slavery, or racism, or whatever cancel culture/WOKE idea is out there, I believe everyone needs someone like Mammy close by to do us some good in life, like just give the real sh*t straight in your face whenever is needed. that's priceless & should be cherished, real love & care. I love it!

I went to this exhibition in 2014. It was spectacular. There's an error in this film. At 3:39 it mistakenly shows a picture of George Cukor instead of David Selznick. Which is funny, because they were frequently mistaken for one another back in the '30s. Cukor made jokes about it in interviews.
@misskatiescarlett63952 жыл бұрын
Actually that is David O. Selznick. He and George Cukor looked very similar and in fact, their pictures do get mixed up when googled.

The photo at 3:39 is unquestionably Cukor and not Selznick. The photo appears, correctly identified, in the book commissioned for the exhibition, "The Making of Gone With the Wind" by Steve Wilson, page 2.

This is exactly why we MUST learn True History & uphold it bcz there are others trying to erase it & tell our young people lies! Even during the Civil war & before that were whites that did not have slaves. There were many more who had them but regarded them as friends & family. Treated them so well, that they did not want to leave & stayed on as paid workers & part of that family. The lies are rampant about that era. We must not believe the new narrative but remember & tell the true History of that time. I think most of the misinformation is told now days to stir up hate in America. Furthering the tensions through the land. Mainly bcz if we can not stand in one accord, our enimies from without can march in & destroy our Country & wipe us off the map!! Let us not choose hate but love & stand together in the modern era we live in! Red & yellow, black & white they are precious in His sight!! Pray for America & each other. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

If you want to assess the importance of GONE WITH THE WIND, compare it to THE JAZZ SINGER only ten years before. GONE WITH THE WIND was a great achievement in film making. Listen to the dialogue. Rhett and Scarlett aren't hero and heroine. They're anti-hero and anti-heroine. Read Margaret Mitchell's letters, too. I think they will confirm this.

Keep in mind the year the book was originally published (1936).

To the extent of writing to you.” 8:25 “on your hands when you select the casting of this *_big_* picture. *Clark Gable* is perfect for Rhett Butler. But ____ please give Scarletts (sic) role to a woman who has the *_Southern dialect. Come South_* and study our *dialect*.

For a professor of film. Tom Schatz is pretty ignorant of his subject. In one sequence, he says Margaret Mitchell had Gable in mind when she wrote the book. False; She always insisted Rhett Butler was not based on Gable at all. Then he says Vivien Leigh was a last-minute decision when introduced by brother Myron at the burning of Atlanta. False; Leigh had been one of the 2 finalists (with Paulette Goddard) for some time. Selznick screened all her movies and watched Fire Over England at least six times before he met her in the flesh. Bad professor! Bad! Bad!!
